将寻求治疗的耳鸣患者（求助，HS）的心理状况与不寻求帮助的患者（非求助，NHS）和正常对照组进行比较。心理评估以及听力，耳鸣响度和耳鸣音高进行了测量。总体而言，HS（n = 50）的精神症状比NHS（n = 50）更严重，有效应对能力较差，控制点外化。然而，NHS的精神疾病明显比正常人（n = 73）更严重，更像HS，即使他们没有转向治疗。耳鸣响度显着低于HS比NHS的主题。耳鸣响度越低，精神症状越重。NHS亚临床异常的趋势表明其易受病理影响，这需要治疗师的关注，以提高患者的自我意识，并建议预防性应对策略或放松技巧。
The psychological profile of tinnitus patients who sought treatment (Help-Seeking, HS) was compared with that of patients who did not seek help (non-help-seeking, NHS) and with normal control subjects. Psychological evaluations as well as hearing, tinnitus loudness, and tinnitus pitch were measured. Overall, the psychiatric symptomatology of HS (n = 50) was more severe with poorer effective coping abilities and externalization of locus of control than NHS (n = 50). However, the psychiatric symptomatology of the NHS was remarkably more severe than that in the normals (n = 73) and more like that in the HS even though they did not turn to treatment. Tinnitus loudness was significantly lower in HS than in NHS subjects. The lower the tinnitus loudness, the higher the psychiatric symptomatology. The trend towards subclinical abnormalities in NHS indicates their vulnerability to pathology and this requires the attention of the therapist in order to increase the patient's self-awareness and to suggest preventive coping strategies or relaxation techniques.
